I almost stepped into this wondrous spider web the other day and just as I got close, the sunlight hit it at an angle that I could see it. I am so glad too, because the diligent spider was right in the center of it! I cannot imagine how long it took for the spider to weave this huge web; it is an amazing work.
I think this scripture gives me a nudge to remember to work my own tasks as if I am laboring to the Lord and not for a reward of pay or accolades but because of love. It is hard to do when the assignment seems to drag on. But really, God sees it all, so why wouldn’t I put my best into it? Laziness, frustration and time seem to rob me of the final blessing. Oh that I could remember this scripture in the thick of the chore! Thankfully, God’s grace is also in force and I can pray for that grace to get me through those times that I forget who my ultimate Commander in Chief is and that it is He whom I serve.

Photo-Scripture – Not a Perfect Garden
I planted Black-Eyed Susan seeds in my front flower bed area in the beginning of Spring and they came in wonderfully, after it seemed to take so long for them to grow! Then I saw that my fire day lilies were coming up in the midst of the Susans. So it looks a bit mixed up – just not a perfect layout of a garden for sure (but it still makes me happy to see those flowers when I go outside). My faith has imperfections because my patience in trials is not too patient. So when I come to my senses (Spirit-sense), I realize there is growth for a deeper trust and relationship with Christ when I practice patience and not give in to self-inflicting frustration and stubbornness. Complete spiritual maturity will be an ongoing life-lesson for me as I learn that patience will turn into perseverance - in trusting God in all things. I pray His blessings on you this week. Photo-Scripture – The Taste of Faith
This section of Psalm 34 reiterates the fact that God is good. The entire Psalm is about happiness of the people who trust God. When you feel your faith in the low valley, the best way to climb out is dive in - to the Word. I read this Psalm many times when I was having my severe balance issues. I remember thinking that the promises, instructions and commands will keep me strong to endure the physical constraints I had. I do not know if I will ever be 100% back to normal balance but I do know that God holds me in His hand and will never leave me. I trust in Him and He blesses me. |
